Gameye is a game server orchestration platform. It sits between your matchmaker and your infrastructure providers, starting dedicated server containers on demand across 21 providers and 200+ datacenters worldwide. No SDK required in your game server binary.

Where does Gameye fit in a multiplayer game stack?

Gameye is the orchestration layer. Your matchmaker decides when a match is ready. Gameye starts a server in 0.5 seconds. Players connect. Gameye handles placement, scaling, failover, and teardown. Your game code, matchmaker, and networking model are untouched.

Q: What does Gameye replace?

Gameye replaces the infrastructure work your team would otherwise own: provisioning servers, configuring firewalls, writing Terraform, managing Docker runtimes, building autoscaling logic, and handling on-call for infrastructure failures.

Q: What game engines does Gameye support?

Gameye is engine-agnostic. Any dedicated server that compiles to Linux and fits in a Docker container works: Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Mirror, Photon Fusion, custom C++, Rust, Go, and more.

Q: How much does Gameye cost?

Gameye charges $0.07/vCPU/hr on demand with no egress fees. Reserved pricing starts at $0.02/vCPU/hr. Billing is per second with no minimum session length.

Where does Gameye fit in your game stack?

Gameye is the middle layer. Everything above it (your matchmaker, your game logic) and below it (the hardware, the network) stays the same. You're adding an orchestration layer, not replacing your stack.

What does Gameye replace?

The infrastructure work your team would otherwise own:

Provisioning cloud or bare metal servers

Configuring firewalls and networks

Writing Terraform or Ansible

Managing Docker runtimes on remote machines

Building custom autoscaling logic

On-call for infrastructure failures at 3 AM

Gameye replaces all of this with one API call: POST /session.

Before: complex web of infrastructure concerns including Kubernetes, firewalls, monitoring, alerting, and support. After: one API call — POST /session — and a single server container

What doesn't Gameye touch?

Gameye stays in its lane. Your game code is yours.

Your game server binary — no SDK, no plugin, no code changes

Your matchmaker — Gameye works with whatever you already use

Your networking model — Netcode, Mirror, Photon, custom UDP

Your client connection flow — players connect directly to the server

Your game engine — any engine works

How does it work?

Containerise your game server

Build a Linux dedicated server. Wrap it in a Dockerfile. Push to Docker Hub. Any engine works.

Configure in the Admin Panel

Set your image name, ports, networking mode, and deployment regions. Test-launch a container to verify.

Call the API

Your matchmaker calls POST /session with a region and your image name. Gameye returns the host IP and port in 0.5 seconds.

Players connect

Match starts. Gameye handles scaling, failover, DDoS protection, and teardown. You handle gameplay.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Gameye SDK in my game server?

No. Gameye requires no SDK, plugin, or code changes in your game server binary. Your server runs as a Docker container — it starts, listens on a port, and accepts connections. Gameye manages everything externally via its REST API.

What game engines does Gameye support?

Gameye is engine-agnostic. Any server that compiles to Linux and fits in a Docker container works: Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, Mirror, Photon Fusion, custom C++, Rust, Go. Full engine support list.

How much does Gameye cost?

$0.07/vCPU/hr on demand, $0.02/vCPU/hr reserved. No egress fees. Billing is per second with no minimum session length. Full pricing.

Which matchmakers work with Gameye?

Gameye is matchmaker-agnostic. Native integrations exist for Pragma Engine, Nakama, FlexMatch, PlayFab, and Photon Fusion. Any backend that can make an HTTP request also works. All integrations.

How is Gameye different from AWS GameLift or Edgegap?

Gameye requires no SDK (GameLift and Agones-based platforms require one). Gameye includes egress (GameLift charges per-GB). Gameye runs across 21 providers (GameLift is AWS-only). Full comparisons.
